Good evening ladies and gentlemen: Normally I would have posted stats files and live updates from the stat rooms, but we had difficulties getting the internet connections to work in either stat room. This difficulty continues at the moment, as I cannot get my usual host to connect tonight, so I cann...

Craig, Joe said he registered last night with you, so is the total going to be 5, or did you pick up any more this past week? Based on that addition, we should have six for a double round robin. Full details will be going out in tonight's email to teams, but if you have any pressing questions, plea...

We're up to four with the addition of a Michigan undergrad team, so there are still plenty of spots available. If you're interested, we'd love to have you. Please contact me at cdbarker _at_ gmail -dot- com with any questions or your registration. Thank you.

With Novi's fairly young and pretty balanced team (going off of last year's NAQT info) and good B/JV team from what I've read on here, it might be that they have a solid consistent program in the making, which would be good to see, especially from a school that didn't really do anything in years pa...

cdbarker

I think that Matt's basic assertion is correct. If NAQT draws the top teams from a number of states as it has in the past, it's a bit silly (or at the very least provincial) to think that Michigan can place four or five teams in the top 20. Not because Michigan doesn't have good teams (Novi has been...

Any spelling errors on players names are unintentional and embarrassing. The difficulty in reading the handwriting on the scoresheets does not always make it easy to be sure what you're reading. I do apologize for any mistakes that were made.
